The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of pediatric versus adult colonoscopes in performing colonoscopy in obese patients.
Conducted a randomized clinical trial among expert endoscopists
Compared slim and adult colonoscopes in non-difficult colonoscopy
Focus on obese patients
Both slim and adult colonoscopes were found to be equivalent in effectiveness for non-difficult colonoscopy
A trend indicated improved performance with the slim colonoscope
Abstract
Among expert endoscopists, slim and adult colonoscopes are equivalent in facilitating non-difficult colonoscopy in obese patients, with a trend toward improved performance using the slim colonoscope.
